There are many aspects to group work, and over time more things will occur to you, which you should share with your colleagues. For instance, you could think about managing group work outside the classroom, doing group work with additional available resources (e.g. books, newspapers, other technologies). Group work, like all the other interactive techniques we have talked about, will continue to be part of your arsenal of learning techniques, and it will be particularly important for project-based work. | There are many aspects to group work, and over time more things will occur to you, which you should share with your colleagues.

Also, remember to use the ICTs you already know about in group work. For instance, think of innovative ways you can use EtherPad. You might consider the following structure for group work: | |||
* carousel-style group work | |||
* 3-4 students per netbook (with 12 netbooks, this forms 12 groups, and occupies 36 to 48 students; the other students do a non-ICT task) | |||
* Among the 12 groups, 3 groups share an etherpad, that they use for a joint task (i.e. there are 4 etherpads in use at the same time, each EtherPad has contributions from 3 groups only) | |||
